Major PC Gameplay & Career Mode Feedback FC 27

1. Career Mode Unplayable & Unfair CPU Speed: Manager Career mode is currently completely unplayable. The CPU/AI has significantly higher speed than my team in every single aspect—acceleration, tracking, positioning, and reactions. No matter what custom settings or sliders I use, my players feel completely outclassed in pace and physically stuck in place.

2. Slow Overall Game Pace & Sluggish Players: The overall game speed feels far too slow and heavy. Players move lethargically, lack responsiveness, and feel like they are stuck in mud.

3. Very Slow Passing & Weak Shooting: Passes and shots are extremely slow and lack power, making build-up play sluggish and finishing unresponsive. Balls take too long to reach their target, allowing CPU defenders easy interceptions.

4. Frustrating Corner Kicks: Scoring from corners feels almost impossible now. The new corner kick system feels clunky and unnatural compared to FC 26, which was much more balanced.

5. Player Acceleration & Sprint Touch: Controlled players lack explosive acceleration, and pushing the ball forward using sprint or knock-on causes players to push it too far ahead while losing all momentum.

6. Poor Player Control & Defending AI: Defensive AI assistance is a massive step down from FC 26, leaving defending feeling uncoordinated, clunky, and frustrating compared to last year's system.

Please consider fixing these issues in an upcoming title update. Thank you!

    I’ve experienced no issues with the passing tbh. The corners are excellent, you just have to switch players and move around the box. 

    for me the biggest issues are ball control in wet weather, the ball is a bar of soap when my team pass. The CPU team control the ball perfectly but players on my team with 85+ ball control cannot control the ball in wet weather.

    Thanks for taking the time to post your constructive feedback, much appreciated! EA_Barry.

  • Really poor gaming experience this year unfortunately.

    I usually start on Manager mode, with authentic gameplay with a custom league 2 side on legendary difficulty with the aim to climb up to the prem. 

    It’s usually challenging but felt quite fair in ea26. However in FC27 I feel like the ai has too much control and the game is working against me and no longer comes down to skill. 

    Ball bouncing off my players when passing, passing and shooting really slow and lethargic, players falling over, ai players having unlimited pace and never getting tired even though they're constantly pressing the whole game. Defenders literally moving out the way and creating space for ai attackers to run into. 

    Even when defending, the only goal the ai score is when they shoot and my goalkeeper saves it but punches it directly towards the ai so they have an open net to score in.

    Same applies to last minute winners too, its so obvious the game dictates what the result will be before the game starts. Feels more scripted than any previous games. 

    Deleted and uninstalled, won’t be FC26 will be the last one for me.

    Maybe I’m just getting old but I have found this game to be the most over-engineered sh**  I’ve ever played. I just want simple gameplay where you can pass, tackle, dribble and score. I don’t need or want all the extra crap.
